Better Than Hummus
Smoky Mustard Horseradish Sauce Better Than Hummus The fans will cheer and say, “well done Sharon Lee!” Such a simple recipe tastes so good.

Post Pandemic Alert Boil The Tofu
Post Pandemic Alert Boil The Tofu Firstly, STOP FREEZING THE TOFU – This is for distributors, stores, food service establishments and home use. Secondly, BOIL THE TOFU. My first instruction regarding the boil is that you shouldn’t have to boil the tofu. But store staff evidently thinks animal-free means it can stay out at roomContinueContinue reading “Post Pandemic Alert Boil The Tofu”
Defining Al Dente
Tip for Sous-Chef: Dried pasta swells as it’s cooked in boiled water. The thicker the pasta, the longer you need to cook it.

Pepperoni Garbanzo Bean Salad – GOAT
We’re using a large can of garbonzo beans here, restaurant style.

Transparency In Food Labeling
Why do companies hide animal ingredients under natural flavor label on products? They don’t want other companies copying their product; they need some secret ingredients.

Then the personContinueContinue reading “Transparency In Food Labeling”
